Grow These 12 Crops to Cut Your Grocery Bill 💸

I am (or should I say was) a 68-year-old widow. I got remarried 3 months ago. One of the first things my new hubby did was help me reclaim my backyard from blackberries and bamboo. He then put in 2 raised garden beds for me. We have planted sunchokes, garlic, radishes, lettuce. The radishes have started to come up. I have made an order with Epic Gardening. I can't wait to get my seeds! So fun and is wonderful for a frugal soul like me. Thanks for all your videos and ideas! My hubby says he is going to put in 2 more raised beds!

That Head joke was EPIC Bahahaha! Here in the PNW, I am growing most of the crops you suggested from your list on/in my Container Porch Garden, including: - Strawberries (Organic Albion) in Grow Bags and Dollar Tree Stackers (I may be a GreenStalk for that this year too - Peppers (Shishido, Lemon Drop, Cayenne, Jalapeno, Habanero, Sugar Rush Peach, and more) - Tomatoes (Roma, Mini Roma, Northern Ruby, Fiaschetto di Manduria, Red Brandy Wine, etc) - Lettuce (Vivian, Parris Island, Little Gem, Jericho, Red Butter, etc) - Herbs (Lemon Balm & Oregano from last year in my GreenStalks, Basil of all different varieties, etc) - Green Beans (Pole I just got yesterday from your store and I will be using the Epic Trellis' 4' & 8' with them) I also recently bought some Blueberry bushes too from a local nursery. The first came in a 1 Gallon pot (Potted up to a 5 Gallon Grow Bag) and the second in 3 Gallon pot (Potted up to a 15 Gallon Grow Bag) to see what happens. Both should produce at least something, but we shall see how much we actually get from them in the first year. My almost three year old is a Blueberry Monster, so they should save me $$$ in the end lol

This channel knows how frugal I am

the big question is why did KEVIN buy $9 worth of strawberries in a tin?! make it make sense hm?

Trying to reduce grocery bill is my main motivation but FLAVOR is a big kicker too!

So glad I found you guys last year. You guys prepped me to be less reliant on our grocery stores and more self-reliant on my own produce. I only go to the store for meat, spices and the odd vegetable now, and I’m loving every minute of it!

Epic Gardening trying to convince the world to get growing from all angles. Love it, and love this channel.

Our kids will eat a pint of cherry tomatoes everyday during the growing season. I plant the sweet ones - Sungold, Amy’s Apricot every year and I have two experimental plants to try new types. This year I have Honeydrop and Suncherry Extra Sweet. Any extra I use in making homemade tomato sauce. And cherry tomatoes are much more forgiving to grow than the big tomatoes in my opinion.

Thank you Kevin and Jacques for bringing me into gardening. I am so excited to have my first one this year.

Don't forget things like broccoli leaves and broccoli stems they are freaking delicious. Many plants you eat more than just the vegetable or the fruit.
